Condenser HVAC: Service and Repair
Installation
INSTALLATION
CAUTION: Be certain to adjust the refrigerant oil level when servicing the A/C refrigerant system. Failure to properly adjust the refrigerant
oil level will prevent the A/C system from operating as designed and can cause serious A/C compressor damage.
NOTE: When replacing multiple A/C system components, refer to the Refrigerant Oil Capacities chart to determine how much oil should be added to
the refrigerant system.
NOTE: If only the A/C condenser is being replaced, add 30 milliliters (1 fluid ounce) of refrigerant oil to the refrigerant system. Use only refrigerant
oil of the type recommended for the A/C compressor in the vehicle.
NOTE: Replacement of the refrigerant line O-ring seals and gaskets is required anytime a refrigerant line is opened. Failure to replace the rubber O-ring
seals and metal gaskets could result in a refrigerant system leak.
NOTE: Be certain that each of the radiator and condenser air seals are installed in their proper locations. These air seals are required for the A/C and
engine cooling systems to perform as designed.
1. Position the A/C condenser (2) into the condenser fan shroud (3).
2. Install the two bolts (1) that secure the A/C condenser to the condenser fan shroud. Tighten the bolts to 5 Nm (45 in. lbs.).
3. Carefully push back the radiator (6) for clearance and install the condenser/cooling fan assembly (4). Insert the two lower condenser fan shroud
mounting tabs into the holes in the lower front crossmember.
4. Install the bolt that secures the condenser/cooling fan assembly to the upper left fender rail. Tighten the bolt to 9.5 Nm (85 in. lbs.).
5. Position the radiator overflow hose (3) to it's installed location
